Articles about Syed Wazir Ali


Profile:

One of the pioneers, Wazir Ali represented India in the first seven Test matches the country played, all against England, between 1932 and 1936. He was an attractive middle order batsman who could cut and drive with a mixture of elegance and power. In the only Test at Lord's in 1932, he impressed in making 31 and 39, handling the varied England attack of Bowes, Voce, Robins and Brown with a degree of comfort. In the 1933-34 rubber he had a modest series, with two valuable knocks of 36 and 39 in the three Tests. He was not very successful in the series in England in 1936, but he notched up a top score of 42 in the second Test at Manchester which remained his highest score.

Wazir Ali led India against Jack Ryder's Australian team that visited this country in 1935-36. A batting mainstay of Southern Punjab for many years, Wazir Ali, in a first class career that stretched from 1922 to 1941 scored almost 7000 runs at an average close to 40, including 20 centuries. After partition, Wazir Ali migrated to Pakistan. He was the elder brother of Nazir Ali, another of the pioneers and the father of Khalid Wazir who played two Tests for Pakistan against England in 1954.(Partab Ramchand)
